How to switch from Free to Pro?

[snieder]

Hi there,
I gues it’s very simple, but I can’t find it … how do I switch from Free to Pro? I thought just putting in the licence at the Free plugin would do the job? But in the settings I can’t find a licence field.

How is the procedure not to loose all data that’s already in?

Hi Snieder,

Apologies for any confusion.

You need to keep The Events Calendar (our free, core plugin) installed and active. Events Calendar PRO should be installed like any other plugin and once activated you should be able to find a Licenses tab in the Events Settings page.

How is the procedure not to loose all data that’s already in?

You should not lose any data but it is a great idea to make a backup (and indeed backup regularly) and know how to restore those backups. Please also check out our New User Primer which covers installing and activating Events Calendar PRO:

Does that help?

Hi Barry – that’s what I thought. So easy that I didn’t see it 😉 Backups are done dayly, of course.

Thanks for your help.
